Consider This

Justin Ebert is back in the studio with Jim Johnson and Ryan Vincent for Week 7 of the Year Through the Bible reading plan at Sunnybrook, diving into Leviticus 16–27 and Mark 3–4. Together they wrestle with the passages many readers avoid or misunderstand: Is Leviticus a burden or was it a gift of grace, order, and revelation to God’s people? What does atonement really mean, and how does the Day of Atonement prepare us for the cross of Christ? They tackle the often-debated tattoo verse, explore God’s sexual ethic and why biblical boundaries are framed as blessing rather than restriction, and address common objections about “Jesus never said…” The conversation also probes the tension between “eye for eye” and “turn the other cheek,” the meaning of “forever” in covenant language, and the sobering warnings about blasphemy and the unforgivable sin.
